Re: Ive Been a Landlord for 22 years
Op:
- Observes tenants working themselves into the grave day after day without end for years

- Observes tenants not taking vacations, working instead

- calls tenants deadbeats.



Sounds about par for the course of Western society's current obsession with eating itself.

Re: Ive Been a Landlord for 22 years
And during all that time I have had one person go on a vacation and it was locally. I have had hundreds of tenants over the years and not one of them has actually gone on an actual vacation. When they take time off it means they are staying home.

Another thing Id like to add is not one of my tenants have had a life of any kind. Most of them go to work every day and come home like Groundhog Day....for YEARS! Then one day I see that they are no longer working at all and just hanging out at home 24/7 whether its old or young, male or female.

Its hard to describe how deadbeat people really are, if they have money they buy the latest BS on TV and have no idea what its like out in the world and dont care to know.

No drive, as you say they don't want to do the hard yards with full time work, overtime and second jobs atop that. They don't want to put In the hard years the house owners did to even get the deposit.. never mind the repairs, mortgage etc.. but then bitch how much better off the owners are and they need to theft nannas cash rather than work...
Worse when its your own blood you see the shit In, haha.

When they raise rent so high they have to borrow money from other family members just to come up with that extra money.

thats sad
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83963311


I know its sad, but its the Gods honest truth. Most Americans are deadbeats. And I mean total deadbeats! Their joy is microwaving a pre made rack of ribs from the grocery store and watch the idiot box.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73438213


We used to rent homes we used to live in when we were moving up and mostly you are right.
Renters were always bottom dwellers, living like drones in the here fucked up on social pathology and now without any apparent investment for tomorrow.
Inevitably they would lie about everything, eventually stop paying rent for as long as possible and utilities, intentionally destroy the place for no reason and leave to parts unknown.
Maybe the demographic is obvious to you having once been working class but transitioned to combat zone, but you must be pretty good situation and demographic if you can keep your properties rented and not destroyed.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82524972


We use to rent out houses on our farm.
We stopped because of the behaviour you describe.
We only rent to businesses now.
I would let any building of mine rot down before I rent it to the trash that would only destroy it anyway.

If true you are rare.

People are out here charging 1500 for a 1 bedroom in a remote country town.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77775929


I know Im rare and why my apartments are always rented. I want my tenants to be happy and not think of me like a scumbag. Im just telling the truth of what Ive seen. Whatever the case is it isnt because of money its more the case of just staying alone or away from people except at work. People can claim whatever they want, I have seen it with my own tenants who I never wouldve thought they were deadbeats and of little interest to venture out of their circles. Now I know whoever I rent to is going to be a fixture.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73438213


People work 8 or more hours a day and want to relax.

It confuses you because you dont.

Also if you care so much sell the apartments to the tenants at a low price.

But then your life on easy street would be over.

You might be a good landlord but you are still a lazy shit who profits off of others hard work simply because your name is on a deed.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77775929


Have you ever rented out property?
And if the tenants buy the apartments, who is going to take care of the landscaping, plumbing, repairs, etc.

I’ve been a landlord for 9 and I have no idea what my tenants do with their free time because it’s none of my business. People like you give landlords bad names.
 Quoting: Rorschach Watchmen


Did you double your rent from 2020 to 2022 like everyone else?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77775929


No. I have had a mother with two kids for the last year and half, she always pays on time and lets me know about even the smallest dent in drywall. It’s a 3 & 2 house in a quiet neighborhood with a brand new school a couple blocks away. She’s a great tenant and I have charged her the same since her first months rent. My property is right next to some duplexes and the guy/corporation that owns those is scum. They charge 400 more than I do and it’s one less bedroom. If you’re a good landlord, most of the time you won’t have any issues. There is exceptions but I live in a very rural area and normally get great people.
 Quoting: Rorschach Watchmen


Even a good landlord is still a lazy entitled fuck.

Why dont you sell the house to those nice people at a fair price and get a real job?

Coming from someone who learned a trade, owns his own business, owns all assets free and clear with no debt, and actually MAKES things you are a leech.

Your service is building a box and charging more then it costs to maintain. You have learned no skills from this, maybe if you did your own maintenance you have some skills but if you have a decent sized apartment building that would mean you never take a vacation either or run a slum.

Also due to the nature of you being a leech you mainly see low income tenants (apartment renters) so it does not surprise me you don't understand how they scrape by when it is you that is just the first dickhead in line with your hand out.

And to add, yea I typically choose to stay on the acres of property I own completing improvements on my time off from making income. I have had jobs in the past that required travel and I am just a homebody who prefers to spend the money on upgrades here I can enjoy for years vs a dumb experience as a tourist that is fleeting.

It all boils down to you are a dick head that thinks he's hot shit, when really your just a pile of hot shit.

True but look at what you are calling a "winner". Some creepy old rich man sneering down his nose at his "tenants" that he despises so much. He sounds like he is proud of what he has done. Sounds like an admission to some type of crime even.

It's like the worst type of criminal... stealing from people BECAUSE they are poor. A type of false imprisonment or stealth slavery. He makes a thread about it and wants us to watch and listen to him "tongue lash" his slaves.
